"What?"
"Is there someone lying in ambush in the woods ahead?"
Hearing his words, Allison was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.
He would not doubt Livia's words. After all, he had seen his strength before and also knew his "identity".
Robber?
Allison looked solemnly at the woods ahead that were about to be shrouded in darkness, "Sir Livia, I will go inform Lord Killian and the rest of the caravan first, you...
be safe."
Allison felt that his last reminder was completely unnecessary. He complained helplessly in his heart, then quickly trotted towards the caravan.
Livia still looked quietly at the woods ahead.
At this time, the bandits in the woods also noticed something was wrong. If the guy on horseback had been looking at this side, they could still explain it as a coincidence and he was just looking at the scenery. However, another guy who looked like a guard came over and said a few words, glanced over here and trotted back. If they still didn't notice something was wrong, they would be really stupid.
"Damn it, they really discovered us!"
The bandit leader clenched his fist and hammered the ground hard, saying through gritted teeth.
"Then, what should we do?"
The skinny monkey beside him asked somewhat panickedly.
The other robbers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"What are you afraid of!
Although we were discovered, we are robbers and have been waiting here for so many days. We have to extort a toll no matter what!
Their carriage can't run away, follow me!"
The bandit leader turned his head with a ferocious look on his face and growled at his men behind him, then rushed out.
The robbers were aroused by his roar and rushed out with weapons in their hands and murderous eyes. Only the guy nicknamed Skinny Monkey was left behind.
Um?
Livia was a little surprised when she saw more than a dozen figures rushing out from the woods ahead just after Allison left.
Are the robbers nowadays so rampant and arrogant? They dare to charge head-on after being discovered when the number difference is not much?
No wonder there are fewer and fewer caravans nowadays. No one can stand being robbed every two or three times. Even if the robbers are repelled and eliminated, there will always be casualties. Even if there is no pension for the dead, the medical expenses and recruiting new people will be a considerable expense. If this happens every now and then, even if the profit of the caravan is getting higher and higher, not many people are willing to risk their lives.
The remaining merchants who are willing to risk their lives to do this business are bound to get their feet wet, just like Killian and his friends before. If he hadn't arrived, they would have almost lost their lives.
Killian had previously guessed that the caravan trading in the Bailisha fruit had probably encountered the same accident as them, but was not as lucky as them to meet him.
It is conceivable that apart from the caravans of some great nobles, who else would dare to run a caravan.
Watching the bandits rushing out of the woods getting closer and closer, Livia put away the thoughts in his mind, grasped the reins with his left hand, and grasped the hilt of the steel sword with his right hand.
Although he had seen from the chaotic group of bandits that they were a complete mob, he did not underestimate the enemy. After all, he knew very well that although his strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, he was only a human body after all, not an invulnerable monster body. Geralt was the best example, who was stabbed to death by a peasant with a pitchfork in the melee.
"Ha, this guy won't run away, brothers, let's catch him first!"
The bandit leader who was in the front saw that Livia did not turn around and run after seeing them, and shouted excitedly behind him.
“Oh ho ho ho!
! ! "
The bandits behind him laughed ferociously and roared excitedly.
Livia was sitting on the horse and felt that the carrot sitting on it was a little uneasy. She stroked its mane with the hand holding the reins to calm it down.
The bandit leader?
Looking at the sturdy man in plain clothes who was rushing in front and almost reaching her, Livia grinned.
bass!
At this moment he pulled the reins and the steel sword came out of its sheath.
The brown horse he was sitting on seemed to have a telepathic connection with him and charged towards the robbers who were rushing towards him on the road.
Phew!
"What..." The bandit leader, who was about to rush to Livia and even raised the steel knife in his hand, looked at the blood spurting from his chest in confusion. He was swept back by a great force.
“It happened…
What?"
No one could answer his question anymore. The silver light flashed before his eyes again, and then everything went dark before he lost consciousness.
With one sword he cut off the head of the leading bandit leader, and as the weapons of the other bandits fell, Livia rode out from among them on horseback.
This is why cavalry occupied a dominant position in the era of cold weapons. In an open area, a charge with the help of kinetic energy could completely block the attack of infantry. Moreover, with its swift speed, it was basically difficult to attack as long as it was not surrounded by hundreds of people.
Just like how Livia had just taken care of the bandit leader who was in the front, how could she charge through the bandits unscathed.
Although the bandit leader was dealt with with two swords, Livia was still a little dissatisfied. After all, the first sword was enough to cut off his head. However, because it was his first horse battle, he was not able to adapt to the shaking and swaying of the horse during the charge, resulting in the first sword only cutting across the shoulder and chest.
Livia drove his horse around and charged again.
The robbers stopped and looked at the headless corpse in the middle in horror, completely not knowing what to do.
How could they be in this situation? When they heard the loud sound of horse hooves approaching, Livia turned around and looked at the charging Livia. His face quickly turned pale, and someone took the lead and shouted, "Run!
! ! "
Then everyone scattered and started to flee.
Livia did not stop just because he defeated this group of rabble. Instead, with a cold expression on his face, he urged Carrot, who was sitting down, to speed up.
People who can become robbers in this era naturally cannot have no blood or sin on their hands. It is impossible to let them go like this. For someone like this who has already done it the first time and has no means of making a living, they will definitely attack passers-by a second time.
Although he was not a good person, he would not let this kind of robber go easily, so he just did what was convenient for him.
Phew!
Phew!
“Ah…” “Uh ah!
!”
With two consecutive swings of the sword, he eliminated the two bandits who were running in this direction. Livia looked at the bandits in other directions whose shadows were almost out of sight and did not chase them anymore. It was enough to eliminate eight bandits, including the bandit leader.
Besides, it was already dark, and even with his night vision it was difficult to continue chasing.
He put the steel sword back into the scabbard behind him, pulled the reins and turned back to the road.
Allison and his guards were standing on the road where he had just killed the bandit leader, waiting for him. Seeing him coming, Killian walked past Allison and stood in front of the crowd to look at him.
